How do i open up and clean my Aqua One CF-1000, without getting water and crap everywhere? Instructions are lost and so am I...
Obviously will need to turn it off, but do I need to take the intake pipe out of the water, or, umm, I don't know...
And once it's open, what's the best way to clean it? I was guessing along the lines of rinsing the media in tank water taken out for a water change, so it doesn't kill the bacteria... am I right?
Anything I should know right about now?
Help ASAP would be much appreciated - am both wanting to clean the thing, and check to make sure my AWOL baby pleco isn't actually crushed/hiding in the filter itself.
xxxx!!!!
